Displays XML data in a user friendly way.
A benefit of XML is that it's "human readable". Egyptian hieroglyphics and EULAs are also "human readable", but not necessarily human friendly. This extension is your friend.
Local file access (file://) is controlled via the chrome://extensions page.
Recent Updates
2.0.3 - Remove "tabs" permission
2.0.2 - Create utils.js script tag dynamically as Chrome broke allowing static tag. Remove webintents logic/permission. Remove View Source and Options as Chrome blocks those now.
2.0.1 - Fix bug in XPath1 functionality. Updates to address localStorage issues when Options have never been saved.
2.0 - XSLT2/XPath2 support via Saxon-CE. Facelift.
1.9.2.1 - Updates due to webintents changes.
1.9.2 - Added webintents functionality to allow application/atom+xml and application/rss+xml to be viewed. Fixed ... bug on self-closing elements. Fixed js exceptions due to 1.9.1.10 updates.
Known Issues
1. Collisions with other extensions inserting unwanted markup (i.e. <style/>).
2. Some XML are served up with an inappropriate Content-Type header or reference unreachable files in DOCTYPE or xml-stylesheet PI causing issues with rendering.
3. Issues with javascript's handling of non-prefixed namespaces (i.e. xmlns="www.shh.com.org";) in documents or duplicated prefixed namespaces (i.e. the prefix is the same and the URIs differ) could cause valid XPaths to fail using XPath Results functionality.
4. Caching of HTTP URLs in XSL widget.
5. XSL widget does not handle stylesheets that do import or include due to limitations in the javascript xsl processor.

- (2021-07-08) Michael Ulloa: Me ha funcionado perfectamente, aunque me molesta un poco el hecho de que al hacer doble click (yo esperando que me seleccione un texto), me cierra un elemento. Pero aparte de ese disparate, recomendado.

- (2020-08-26) work man: Works exceptionally especially the color coding
- (2020-07-10) Dan Madoni: The only XML viewer I found after a frustrating search that provides a way to view the XPath for a selected element, thank you! (Others claim to do this, but this extension is the only one that worked for me.)
- (2020-04-09) Matt Theule: I tried many other extensions to format XML returned from websites (not XML files on the local PC). This was the only one I found that met my needs. Thanks
- (2020-03-05) Shizuku Tsukishima: Don't show elements nodes, attributes or text only
- (2019-09-03) Everton Álvaro: Funcionou muito bem
- (2019-07-30) Flower Bot: It seems to only allow for reading files with xml extension. I view SharePoint rest results in the browser and these do not have an extension - does not seem to be a way to force it to view as a tree...
- (2019-06-09) Daniel Garcia: Particularmente me sirve.

- (2018-06-08) Dan Atkinson: Extremely useful for quickly finding elements and performing XPath queries on them.
- (2018-04-10) Paul Schmidt: Ne fonctionne pas
- (2017-11-24) Ramon Kostwinder: Very nice plugin! One suggestion: it would be nice if you can use it on local files (not localhost, but C:\test.xml for example)
- (2017-09-15) Andrey Tuzhilin: 1. Source and Options buttons are not working 2. View Source is not a feasible option (see JSON Formatter for a good example)
- (2017-06-06) Gabriel: This is really helpful when I need to use iframe to display xml page on my current job, thanks a ton!
- (2017-05-13) Sandro Alvares: Não deveria carregar o local, o local esta com PHP e vejo dentro tela de navegador cheio xml, não funciona visualizar XML TREE, todas vezes e copio a tela para colocar http://www.cleancss.com/xml-beautify/ ... XML TREE não ajudou.
- (2017-04-19) Jussi Palo: Only works after a few refreshes of the page, or then not.
- (2017-04-14) arlynn hou: I don't know how to use it. when I click the extension icon, it direct to the google chrome extension net store. maybe I don't have a right posture?

- (2017-02-15) Julien Lattari: Ne fonctionne toujours pas.
- (2017-02-06) lopez bernie: its great when it decides to work. only problem is that it does not work more often than it works. needs support for name value pairs.
- (2017-02-03) Yannis Alexiou: XPath 2.0 doesn't work
- (2016-09-30) Allen Kenney: Really helpful for getting the XPATH of any element or attribute. It does cause a delay in loading XML pages.
